A Toilet’s job is simply to dispose of waste. The irony is that most toilets are actually quite wasteful at doing it. The amount of water and energy most toilets require to do their job make them almost unusable in 3rd world countries. Even though you may think everyone has one, around 2.6 billion people don’t have a place to do... well you know. People in very poor countries that cannot afford toilets can suffer from dangerous living conditions which are created by poor hygiene. In an effort to clean up the mess The Bill Gates Foundation sponsored the “Toilet of the Future Contest”. The contest awarded 100,000 dollars to the group who could create a cheap, efficient, and green toilet. And who says Bill Gates never gets his hands dirty! Some toilets were solar powered. Many of them could even produce fresh water! You have to wonder who volunteered to take the first sip! This truly tells us that there is more than just a few ways to lend a helping hand to people in need.Monday, August 20, 2012
Bill Gates is a Plumber?

Baking Partners: A new Baking Group
Baking Partners: A new Baking Group
A group of home bakers helping each other to achieve perfection.
Baking a home made , cake or cookies will give the best outcome. However in order to achieve the best results, a perfect recipe and right techniques are required.
We are a small group of home baker friends, who love and want to learn more about the nook and corners of baking. We are planning to try out recipes from books/magazines and cooking shows. Every member gets a chance to present their choice of recipe and share important points with the rest of the group.
Main purpose of this group is to learn the techniques, critic the procedure if there are ways to improve, and to eat a delicious food.
Rules are simple, we will choose one recipe and send it out to the group by 16th of every month and the reveal date will be 15th of the next month. On that day we will blog about it. A linky tool will be open during that time and each member can link their post.
First month we are going to do a recipe, 2nd and 3rd month will be a theme and the 4th month we will be back at a recipe. By doing in between recipes, we will able to learn more.
All enthusiastic bloggers interested in baking are welcome, please email Swathi at favoriterecipes12@gmail.com.
We will appreciate the use of logo or worded link that will help to spread the word. A bunch of thanks to Tina for designing this beautiful logo
If you want to make it a gluten or vegan free diet, you can do those modifications also.
